Who f_ckin cares. Everyone has the numbers in their cells. Its only for new numbers. Plus it is 2 years away. OOOOOOOOOh I cant push 3 extra numbers to change the number in my phone. WAWAWAWAWAWAWAWA<quoted text>

They did it years ago when Rochester and Buffalo were both 716 and made the eastern half 585. It's really not a big deal at all.

Give all Obama phones a different area code. That should fix the area code issue for Oneida County...

the Obama phones are prob the influx of the use of the 315 system ""this phone is a free phone from the gov. for the poor "" i have heard some people lose the phone and they issue a new number and leave the other phone still active to get that money ,, a mexico company/one man billionaire? has the contract and they mail in the phone and are based in another country http://www.infowars.com/wealthy-mexican-capit... link of the billionaire

Not true. Rochester wanted and the rest of the area around Genesse River wanted their own area code (seperate from 585, even 315 or 607) technically 585 is not half of what 716 was. It's only the Rochester area down to the south part of the state where the river comes from part of 585, and parts of 315. Other parts of 315 became part of 607.

Interesting. I lived near the Genesee/Erie county border and the border is where they cut it off out there. Didn't realize the Rochester aspect.
